Much love Laura~ Go have a foofoo drink w/ an umbrella in it...you deserve it! Hell, after today, you deserve a few! Bring me a present...kidding! Have fun! We went swimming...nekked! LOL, it is sooo nice just to float. They have these great rafts that are net so you are wet and 1/2 submerged...but then you are out too! We each get one, and hold on to the side of the other one and drift around the pool. I love these afternoons! Gonna miss 'em when the friends come back, and work starts again! We leave in the manana for the beach! I'll pop in later, have a great night! xooxoxoxox

Take a deep breath, say some bad words (it helps), leave work early if you are at work...and get it done! You can do this...in 2 weeks all this shit will be a distant memory! Also, send your teach (or you should really call her if you can) a email reminding her of what YOU ALREADY DISCUSSED W/ HER ABOUT YOUR SCHEDULE. She probably forgot or got you mixed up. Remind her you need to fly to Jamica in the morning!!! If nothing happens, make some great coffee...and get crack-a-lackin and booty shmackin!!! Burning a little midnight oil is good for the soul. ((You can tell me to shut the hell up...just trying to be a good cheer leader)). I would attempt to contact teacher though, she probably forgot your earlier discussion. OK...NUTJOB STORY UPDATE: Ya'll remember "C" the nutjob who made the suicidal call. I've had a few "wrong number" calls this week, from her area code. So I just get a call...and the woman asks for Jennifer Sxxxxx (privacy issues). Well, Jennifer is the woman who the recorded suicidal message was for. The suicidal call started (from last Sat), "This message is from "C" and is a recorded message for Jennifer Sxxxx, by the time you get this I will be dead!" So someone just calls for Jennifer. And when I tried to call the number back (like redial) it says the number is disconnected. I hate crazy ass shit like this! I don't "do" drama anymore, especially if it is not mine! If ever I am missing...ya'll tell the cops my story, k. Back to diss...

I never read pleasure books...well, I start many and finish few. I always start one, and then decide that I should be doing homework, and feel guilty for "reading for pleasure". Since Europe, I finished 2 books, Drop Dead Beautiful (Jackie Collins) and Bungaloo 2 (Danielle Steel). I love Collins and have never read a Danielle Steel book before. It was very slow...could've said what she needed/wanted to say in about 1/2 the pages. Instead, it was 500 pages and was quite redundant. My all time fav book is YaYa's!!! I love that and books along those lines. I love historical fiction, set in the early 1900's in the south is my fav. I like strong women characters and lots of dialog. I'll start reading this book now. I like the title: Break Free from emotional eating forever! Hopefully I can glean some info that will be useful for me/us! Off to start...bbl

ooooo just as I clicked submit...my new book "Shrink Yourself" arrived! So, I guess I start that this afternoon! Are we doing the book club thingy? Did I even buy the right book? LOL, leave it to me to buy the wrong book.

Judy, I am a perfume freak...what "smell" did you get? I went and bought Magi Noir (Lancome) and Coco (Channel). I oly get the parfums, toilette water is not worth the $$. OK...watching some tv and chilling for a bit while S is out getting her "do" done! xoxoxo

Morning Ladies~ I love the idea of logging the exercise, especially cause I will do more of it when a)I have to log it and :biggrin: I read about everyone else (I just hate to be left out). I worked out Monday and the damn week got away from me. I swam laps on Tues (got my heart rate up really good workout too). Wed., none to really speak of. Thursday, none. Today I have 2 interview face to face, going to buy perfume (shhhh dont tell Susanne), and when she gets back from Moreno Valley (1 hour away for her hair cut), we are going swimming today...and I'll work out in there. Goal is next week to go to dance class 3x min! Have a great day! Did we hate BB last night? I can't stand "corn feed" Jessie! He is over compinsating for something w/ all those muscles....hhuuummmmm??? GOOD LUCK LAURA!

Hey V's~ Piehole Report: B: 1/2 Cal Skillet (posted contents this am) S: Can't remember but posted it earlier L: 1/2 med popcorn no butter, 1/2 candy bar S: Are you kidding me...so sick from all the shit at lunch D: Meat sauce w/ tblspoon of ricotta. No pasta, green sal. w/ homemade dressing (which is awesome...everyone loves my dressing:biggrin:) Got in the pool at Stef's house...it was windy so it was freezing...lol, it was 107 outside and we were cold. Laura~ KICK ASS TOMORROW...IT IS ALMOST OVER...YOU CAN DO IT....PURPLE POWER SISTA! We will be waiting to hear how it goes. Have fun on your trip if I miss you. xoxoxoxo TracyKS~ Have fun, be careful (what an Italian woman..."be careful"). Take pix! Kat~ I can't wait to see Swing Vote, but will wait a few days now...can't imagine doing the popcorn thing just yet, lol. Judy~ I agree Heath did a great job! He really deserves award recognition. I liked the movie, but it was about 30 min. too long. I have 2 interviews in the morning. Cruisin' along....yeah! Then we are going to my sisters on Sat am(step sister for 33 years) and bro and nephew will be there. Sister's boyfriend is awesome and they are putting on a bbq Sat., and brunch on Sunday. My sis lives at the beach, Dana Point. It will be very nice...looking forward to it. The gathering is for my dad's b-day on Tuesday. He and step mom are flying down from Reno. He has cancer so this is very special that we can all get together. Dad usually visits bro, sis or me, but it is hard to get us all together at the same time. Anyhoo....looking forward to seeing my pops...I love him so much! OK...sleep well. I know who is the new HOH!!! www.bbchatter.com ONLY IF you wanna know! xoxoxoxoxooxox

Talked her into seeing Hancock! L: popcorn S: 5 low fat salamis 1 string cheese

Isn't it weird how sometimes it can be a quick PB...and I can often eat after. Then other times, it is a full blown puke session. The other night w/ the game hens (OMG they looked beautiful) 2-3 bites and i puked for a long time. Trying to talk Susanne into seeing Step Brother later. There are no good movies out now...that we haven't seen anyway. Swing Vote doesn't come out here til tomorrow...maybe we'll wait! ??????

BRAVA!!!! Haydee~ I am proud of you, and proud to call you friend. As for babies...ya'll could come spend a day at my job...best damn birth control ever. They all start out cute, cuddly, etc. Then one day, they are in middle school, sucking the life out of you...draining you for...um, well, you get the idea. Don't get me wrong, I love other people's babies. I can't wait for Laura and Haydee to have one (and any other violet who still wants one). xoxoxoxoxo House is clean and I am gonna go relax! Piehole report is hard today. B: 1/2 California skillet (eggs, mushrooms, onions, spinach, avocado, cheese,sour cream) on top of hash browns which I didn't eat (maybe 2 bites got mixed in...but I really tried NOT to eat any. BBL

Haydee~ You are absolutely stunning...always! Michelle~ are you a closet BB fan? Whoohoo! Jessie is easy on the eyes, but he needs his ass kicked and to be taken down a notch! Judy~ I agree...you are such an inspiration for me, for all of us! Hey everyone else! We have to leave in 30 min. The maid gets here and I hate to be here when she is. So, we will go out to breakfast, check our mail, try not to go to Wally world for ANYTHING...we don't need anything, and I don't need to spend $. Terri~ I can't get to my measuring tape. Crap got piled in the garage in front of the drawer in the garage. If I mention it, I'll have to do work to help put the crap away. We both know...I don't want to do work. Please hold on for me...I've thought about those bracelets for 2 days...can't wait. OK...BBL Laura~ Study hard girlie...it is almost over. Before you know it you'll be on a beach in Jamica (did I spell that right?)...lucky dog!

Hey V's~ Well, the day started out okay. I had a "blue/downer" day...really felt like crap. Felt like curling up and eating ice cream...so I did, sort of. Piehole Report: B: 2 eggs, 1/4 cheese (not counting coffee...that is a necessity, not a food item) S: 4 bites of crab salad L: 2 hotdogs w/o bun, 1 tsp of palmento cheese S: BADBADBAD DQ choc heath bar BLIZZARD D: Pork chop and steamed zuccini and squash. So, except for my afternoon melt down...I was ok. I don't know what happened today. I would have killed for that ice cream. I haven't had DQ in a while so I am gonna "get over it". I did a couple interviews this morning, worked on diss, and then "fell apart". We gave all that stuff to our friend Jaime. She is kinda struggling and was just laid off. Susanne gave her tons of Proactive stuff and I gave her old jewlery, a Ralph Lauren comforter (I never used it...hated the color), throw pillows, etc. There is some extra stuff for the maid to look at tomorrow. We'll see if there is much left after the maid tomorrow. I liked your ideas about women's shelters and will keep that in mind next time. It looks like we are having a garage sale sooner rather than later. Moving 2 households together leaves us w/ so much crapola. Laura, I would so need to see the storage unit too, lol. I love crap too! OK...gonna chill for a bit. Have a great night everyone! xoxoxooxoxo

Your welcome Tracy. I actually just went back and looked at what I put up...and it was not the vids I saw yesterday. Oh well, you get the gest. Do you or Jane ever go to you tube to look at bb vids. In the search bar, just type in anyone's name, or bb10 or anything, and tons come up. Some of the good ones are the fights, like w/ Libra and Jerry, or Memphis and Jerry. HHUUMM, do I see a pattern forming?

What book did we decide on? Or did we? I got the Shrink Yourself: Stop Emotional Eating Forever book...is that right? That is a biggie for me...hope it helps. Susanne is gonna shit when she see's another book come into the house. She is cleaning out all our "products" now. Hairspray, creams, lotions, face crap...all getting thrown out. I walk in and start looking at the "trash" box. She said, "I knew you'd do this...save this, keep this." LOL...so I left the room! BBL I am hungry...not a pork rind in sight! Kidding Haydeexoxoxoxoxoxoox OH yeah, Piehole Report: (love that name) B: 2 eggs, 1/4 c. 2%cheese, 2turkey sausage links S: 4 bites of kick ass crab salad I made (PB slime) 1.5 bottles of water so far OK...gonna go see what else is getting thrown out. Problem is w/ 2 women...we have sooooo much crap. Gonna call a friend and tell her to go through the "trash" box and take what she wants. We are talking new tampons, pads (don't need those anymore), and tons of 1/2 used creams. This is stuff you can share w/ others. Anyhoo...bbl

OK...I promise not to post anymore tonight. But Tracy and Jane...click on these links for the earthquake on Big Brother! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-3UkxGU5h4]YouTube - Big Brother 10 - The Earthquake[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcbE643-hrs]YouTube - BB 10 Earthquake Outside[/ame]

Jane~Don't know about blogging...i have a hard enough time keeping up w/ the violets and All My Children! Laura~ Yes, C is the suidcide caller...She had my number because I gave it to her instructional aid the day before. I think the chick is on drugs or something. She told the lady from the district someone was following her. Weird...I just pray that she finds peace. Well, the beautiful Cornish Game Hen and broccaflower...was wonderful. All 3 bites of it! Then, I had the PB the size of Texas! Complete w/ noise, slime and a fart as I was purging in the kitchen sink (sooooo attractive). Then it turned in to a full on vomit. So... S: (about 4pm after swimming) was 1/2 c. of imitation crab meat salad. D: Dinner salad (stayed down cause I had it 30 min before) I had some Low Carb ice cream! Man, it looked good and Susanne cleaned her bones! Have a great night! I am off to watch BB! xoxoxoxooxox

Rotten DQ...what a total buzz kill. Hope your feeling better! I ordered the book from Amazon...it will be here Friday! Don't start reading it w/o me. I am making Cornish Game Hens for dinner. I just pulled 'em out of oven after 1 hour and they are not done. Gonna be close to 8 before we can eat. Having broccaflower w/ it. I love that...been looking for it all summer, finally found it! BBL PS~Sorry for the large long post...what a story eh?

Here is the story of that lady. I wrote it in Word cause I didn't want it to disappear. One of my research participants C agreed in late May to participate in the study. She gave her boss her contact information, which she then gave to me. I called on Friday and she answered. I said, “C?” and she said, “NO.” She said I had the wrong number. I knew I didn’t…but decided to call her other number anyway. I called her other number which turned out to her school. I talked to the secretary and she said she was in and out of her classroom and patched me through. I left a message w/ her instructional aid…or so I thought. I gave my name, email, phone number and the nature of my call. I explained that C agreed to do this and that her boss gave me the info. On Saturday morning, I get a call that started out, “This is a recorded message from C (and last name) for Jennifer somethingorother???. By the time you get this message, I’ll be dead!” She went on about her cheating husband, and some indiscretion between he and this woman (she had the wrong number, obviously). She went on and on…I grabbed my audio recorder that I have been using for my interviews. I taped the end of her message. She left some number, something about her husband or something (much of the message w/ blurred and jumbled). She concluded her message w/, “You can find me hanging in my garage…” I quickly called 911. I shared w/ them as much information as I could…only her now 3 numbers I had for her. I was so scared she was going to hurt herself. I said a few prayers and thought about her all day. I called later that afternoon (the phone call came in about 9am) and spoke w/ some man who said she was talking w/ a doctor. I did not explain about the earlier call, nor that I was the one who called 911. On Monday, her district office called me. She told them I was following her (she lives 1 hour away). She said she called my number and some guys were laughing in the background. This, mind you, the same number that her district office called 5 min. later, my home number. They questioned me about everything, my study, my district, etc. They have all my information, name, phone, email, etc. Out of respect for C, I did not tell her district about the suicidal call. I didn’t want to embarrass her. The lady at the district said she said people were following her??? Anyway, she is not going to be involved in my study.

Quick update~ I have to do an interview @ 1:30, then 1 @ 2pm, 1 @ 5pm, 1 @ 6 pm. REMIND ME TO TELL YA'LL OF THE NUTJOB ...OMG, YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS ONE. I'll type it out tonight. Long story...but a good one! Piehole report: B: coffee, s/f creamer, splenda (do i need count coffee?) 2 scram eggs w/ 1/4 c. 2% cheese, 3 turkey sausages 1 piece of Susanne's turkey bacon L: 2 cheese hotdogs (sans bread) 1 teaspoon of paminto (sp) cheese (3 carbs but sooo worth it) That is it so far. 1/2 way through second bottle of water. Not going to dance class tonight, but gonna go skinny dipping (oxymoron) about 3pm. I will do some laps and some exercises there! Susanne is watching a Jean Claude Van Dam movie...lol, shit if you ask me, lol. OK...gotta run! Did we decide on a book for our book club? I am swamped but can squeeze it in if everyone is gonna do it. Raise your hand if you wanna do the book club thing. I think Terri and Haydee have the first book. Will get the measurements to you ASAP Terri! xoxoxox

Hey V's~ Yes, I was a book collector for years! Then when mom died...I had books everywhere and couldn't see through it. So I purged about 300 - 400 out to friends of the library. Then about 2 months ago, I purged another shopping cart full (no exaggeration) and moved my CD's in the office. Then saturday, we filled up a suitcase and a box and donated it to Good Will. My mom was a book collector too. Problem is they take up so much room. Now I collect old compacts (like the ones w/ makeup in 'em). If anyone ever sees a pretty one...send 'em my way...and the bill. Compacts are much smaller and easier to manage! Denise~ Purple power for you dd and family. I am glad ya'll have the "month" extra to move, especially w/ all that is going on. Poor little baby...his Violet aunts send all their love to him while his mommy is sick! TracyKS and Kat...when do ya'll leave? How long ya'll gonna be gone? My friends Bob and Steph (we get to babysit their pool while they are away) are gonna be gone for about 12 days. Look for 'em, they will be on the Harley, wearing black tshirts, lol. Actually they are staying in a hotel for the first time. The past few years, they've camped...looking forward to the hotel this time! Man, Kat, TracyKS and Laura are gonna be gone...gonna be quiet in here. Terri~ I'll email you the measurements for my wrist later today. I am soooo excited...love both bracelets and can't wait. I saw you take credit cards, so we'll just do it that way. Yeah!!! I am officially on a spending diet for a few months...but I need a little something for the new school year! OK...I had to get labs this morning so I had to put on a bra and drive before coffee (not a good way to start the day). Gonna play scrab and then I need to interview some people for my research! xoxoxooxoxoxoxox

LOL...paypay = paypal

Terri~ OMG...I just saw your Doodle Studio link! I MUST HAVE the Tornado bracelet and the square link silver bracelet! I don't have paypay though...hopefully you and I can do the $ exchange w/o pay pal. I need to measure my wrist tomorrow to make sure the silver one will fit. I lovelovelove them.

Hey everyone~ I emailed ya'll the pix of the office...I know you are waiting w/ baited breath, lol. Laura~ You looked great! As for the next trip...I am ready whenever is good for everyone. Maybe spring again...i need to recoop from Europe and get over xmas...just a thought! I miss you all so much!!!
